I had been eying these for a while, and the electric bill went down, so I pulled the trigger on one.
I paid via PayPal on Saturday, March 14th, 2009. Iceman shipped the package on Monday, March 16th. The package arrived on the 18th. I was impressed with Iceman's good communication and prompt shipping. Those are the qualities I look for in an online seller. I would not hesitate to do business with him again.
About the coozie:
The first thing I noticed was that it was red with white lettering.

Of course, any review wouldn't be complete without real world testing.
I grabbed a bottle of Bud Light. I know that isn't the best beer out there, but the bottle shape is common enough that I thought it would be a good sample for this test.
The coozie slipped on with no problems. It has a ring attached to the zipper to aid in installation. To install, simply pull the ring "up."

I learned that in order to read the lettering properly, you should tilt your head 90 degrees, NOT THE BEER!!
After cleaning up the mess and installing a second beer, I started phase two of the test: the temperature torture test!!
Using a standard meat thermometer, borrowed from my wife, I tested the beer's temperature at 10 minute intervals.
At 9:09pm, the beer was 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
At 9:19pm, the beer was still 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
At 9:29pm, I drank too much of the beer, and the thermometer couldn't reach that far down into the bottle to test, so I'm assuming it was still 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
So according to my calculations, this coozie will keep your beer cold for at least 4 hours. That is pretty good in my book.
In conclusion, Iceman was a pleasure to do business with. The coozie is a good value and should serve me well for years to come. Overall I would say that I am extremely pleased with this product and would recommend them to anyone looking for a way to keep their beer cold and their hand warm.
